Leo Goolden repairs a tear in the mainsail on day 10 of a transatlantic crossing from Florida to the UK.▶ 6:03 The damage, located just below the second reef near the leech, is mended with sail tape on both sides and reinforced with hand stitching.▶ 1:39 To manage the repair, the crew lowers the sail partially while keeping it attached to the mast and gaff.▶ 0:44

The vessel encounters 20–25 knots of wind and moderate seas as a warm front approaches.▶ 6:32 The crew prepares for a low-pressure system expected to bring 35–45 knots of wind and 12-foot seas with a 9-second period.▶ 6:59 Current sail configuration includes a triple-reefed main, full jib, and staysail, with plans to switch to a tri-sail for the night.▶ 7:29 The crew uses weather routing software to monitor forecasts and adjust their position within the boat's performance limits.▶ 8:29 A Garmin inReach satellite tracker provides periodic position updates, though the crew warns that intermittent connectivity is common.▶ 10:17
